The kids were OK but the mother, who was really the payer, was a major hassle.

One of the board members was there and is looking to retire, We hit it off and he opened up his 30+ property portfolio to me to choose from.

I sadly went through a brutal divorce, so I want to provide stability for my kids.

Allen, you mentioned your kids going to college.

But since each studio is just one room and we have kids do you know if they would allow us to evict both tenants to allow enough space for the whole family?

Unfortunately, the only way to go about this is the get the property rezoned and convince the zoning board of your proposed use. 

Also, can you sue the previous broker and seller for failure to disclose or at least report it to the local board?

But like I think I mentioned in some other states ( I have not been in one in Ohio yet) the boiler plate of the MLS / board of realtor contracts normally call for mandatory non binding mediation. 

Some banks may lend as a HELOC on the rental property, or refinance it, but you're right you'd have to get your mom on board for that.
